Vote InfoTrump Administration Announces 7 “Dirty” Words for Centers for Disease Control
Last week, Trump appointee Alison Kelly ordered public servants working for the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) not to use the following seven words in the President’s forthcoming budget:
- “vulnerable”
- “entitlement”
- “diversity”
“transgender” - “fetus”
- “evidence-based”
- “science-based”
There is absolutely nothing dirty about these words. It’s just outright censorship of our scientists and their science.
James has always stood with our scientists.
- Read about his demand for returning biomedical research funding to Clinton Administration levels
- Read about his outrage against Trump’s proposed 18% cuts
- Read about his call for faster Zika virus funding
If you stand with James and our scientists, then consider showing the Trump Administration by donating here.
“It’s as though Trump officials think eradicating the words can make the concept disappear. And there is a certain appeal to that. Like, if we could just stop saying, “Trump administration,” and make it go away.”
